Privet Drive

Privet Drive is a fictional location from J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" series. It serves as the home of the Dursley family, who are known for their mundane and unremarkable lifestyle. The street symbolizes the ordinary world that contrasts with the magical universe in which Harry finds himself. The Dursleys, particularly Vernon and Petunia, represent traditional values and often mistreat Harry, making him feel isolated. Privet Drive is important as it highlights the tensions between Harry’s magical heritage and his upbringing in a non-magical family, setting the stage for his journey into the wizarding world.
